A pelvioretcal abscess is an inflammatory formation that forms in the genital area or perineum.
How does pelvinorectal inflammation form? It appears due to the penetration of microorganisms through microtraumas of the skin. This is possible even with a banal abrasion! What can we say about the genitals, which are often injured or develop pyelonephritis. Absorbed through the skin, damaged tissues, appendages, microorganisms settle in the hernial sac, rectal tissue and cause significant discomfort. Microbes feed on waste products, causing local swelling and destruction of surrounding tissues. This is where the lymphatic and immune systems come into play. To relieve inflammation, they reduce the number of pathogenic flora, which in turn causes local complications. The result is inflammation of the peritoneum, and then the perinephric tissues. That is, the infection penetrates into the pelvic and rectoperitorial areas. This is how pelvioperitonitis is formed, which spreads to adjacent parts of the pelvis, the parietal peritoneum. As muscles and ligaments are involved in the processes, infiltrates appear - phlegmon, necrosis. Any abscess formation can result in sepsis, although this happens quite rarely. Perinephritis, if left untreated, is complicated by purulent pelvic fistulas. But usually everything ends well - the abscess breaks, its contents come out, and the inflammation disappears. To treat this process, you must immediately contact a specialist. Self-medication is unacceptable and life-threatening. Treatment of pelvic-rectal abscess should only be carried out under the supervision of a physician. And without sudden movements. With strict adherence to recommendations and treatment regimens, most patients are discharged home after 7-10 days. Recommendations regarding timing remain the same for conservative treatment of pathology. Early restoration of working capacity allows for a complete recovery after an abscess rupture in a short time.
